Cell phone battery: don’t make these mistakes and save energy

Check out 7 tips to make your smartphone battery last longer

A mobile phone battery is essential to the functioning of the device, but it is also susceptible to damage from daily and intensive use. Therefore, it is important to know how to store your cell phone battery to extend its useful life and also to ensure that it lasts longer throughout the day.

One of the main tips for conserving your mobile phone’s battery is to avoid leaving it in charge for a long time, as well as to avoid using it while charging. Also, another tip includes turning off power-hungry features on your device when they’re not in use, like mobile data.

Come to think of it, the Stadium collected 7 tips on what not to do to conserve your cell phone battery. The first four topics include usage tips to conserve energy throughout the day, and the remaining three items are tips for preserving the useful life of the charge.

Do not set the screen brightness to maximum

Even if it seems like a harmless adjustment, the brightness of the mobile screen can be a big villain when it comes to saving the battery of the mobile. The brightness of the screen at maximum level is one of the resources that consumes the most charge of the electronic device, because the more light the device needs to maintain brightness, the more energy it consumes.

Therefore, whenever your battery is low and you want to save money, turn down the brightness level of your screen.

Don’t leave mobile data on all the time

The internet connection is the resource we need the most when using our mobile phone, however, when it is low, the best thing to do is turn off the mobile data and look for a Wi-Fi network.

Keeping the mobile network of the device always active consumes a lot of battery, so the advice is to deactivate it when possible and choose a Wi-Fi connection, which does not consume as much energy as the mobile internet.

Don’t leave your phone on vibrate all the time.

For those who usually get a lot of notifications, turn off the vibrate mode of your mobile. This feature may seem harmless, but it consumes a lot of battery by requiring the device’s vibration motor to keep running.

In this case, the recommendation is to leave the mobile phone in silent or night mode – which generally does not vibrate – or to activate the smartphone ringtone so that the device does not vibrate.

Don’t leave apps in the background

We often switch between so many applications on our mobile and forget to deactivate them in the background, but this practice helps a lot in saving battery life.

While apps are in the background, they continue to use your device’s power to stay running. So knowing that to save your mobile charge always try to remove all background apps.

Do not charge the battery to 100%

Seeing a 100% charged battery icon on your phone is fine, but not recommended for conserving long-term battery life.

The best way to keep an electronic device battery healthy is to charge it up to 80%. The reason for this would be because the more charge the battery receives, the more lithium ions move around, which can overwhelm the battery in the long run and quickly reduce its functionality.

Do not use counterfeit chargers

We already know that fake chargers are cheaper, but using them is not healthy for your cell phone battery.

Using non-original chargers will damage the battery life and may even overheat the device and cause short circuits because they are not “tailor-made” products for the smartphone.

Do not use your cell phone while charging

Using your smartphone while it’s charging is not recommended as it affects battery life in the long run.

You may have already noticed that when you use your mobile phone when it is plugged in, it gets hotter than usual. Overheating of the electronic device drastically reduces the useful life of your charge. It is recommended not to use the device while it is charging.
